Love Quote by Eva Herzigova

"I do pottery. I love it. It's very relaxing; it takes me to another planet"

About this Quote

In a profession built on being looked at, Eva Herzigova’s love of pottery lands like a small act of rebellion: a choice to make something with her hands that isn’t a pose, a product shot, or a curated self. “I do pottery” is disarmingly plain, almost stubbornly unglamorous. That’s the point. She’s stepping off the treadmill of image and into a practice where value comes from process, not perfection.

The line “It’s very relaxing” carries a quieter subtext: modeling is not. The fashion world sells ease - languid bodies, effortless beauty - while demanding constant vigilance, judgment, and bodily control. Pottery flips that dynamic. Clay resists. It collapses, cracks, refuses to cooperate. You can’t airbrush a wobble on a wheel. That resistance becomes therapeutic because it’s honest: you’re allowed to fail, start over, and still end up with something real.

“Takes me to another planet” isn’t mystical so much as strategic. It’s a vivid way to describe flow - total absorption that shuts down the noise of scrutiny. For someone whose career depends on being hyper-aware of how she appears, the fantasy is not fame but disappearance: a mental exile where the self is no longer a brand.

Culturally, it taps into a broader craving for analog refuge. In an era of relentless visibility, Herzigova’s pottery isn’t just a hobby; it’s a bid for sovereignty, a private space where she controls the pace, the mess, and the meaning.
